Congrats to this year's champions: 330 2481 120 1086

[neshera]

Congratulations to all 8 teams! This was a fantastic finals, as thrilling as it could possibly be. Wish there was some way to further reward the Finalists.

In the now immortal words of will.i.am, "This stuff is really good!"

[Alex Cormier]

Congratulations are in order for 330, 2481, 120, and 1086.

I had a blast showcasing our defensive and driving skills against all of the alliances, sadly one alliance beat us. The champions. Was well fought and a hard battle. See ya next year.

First, congrats to 330, 2481, 120, and 1086 for your well deserved win. On to 1405, when we played with you to win FLR, I could tell that your defense was going to push you guys far. 2056 and 1690 were absolute juggernauts, and 1405's defense was incredible to watch. You guys shut down incredible teams such as 987, 120, and more. All 8 teams played incredibly, and I have to say they played the most exciting matches I have ever seen. 2056, may you get your well deserved world title. Lastly, I was blown away by how far 120 has come. We played them in Buckeye, and they blew me away by how much better you guys were at champs.

Couldn't agree more. Just thankful for the chance to watch these amazing teams battle.

This finale, along with 254 pushing a team over the rock wall and onto the batter to win by 1 point in quals, will be talked about for a long time.

So fun to watch 330 get back up off the mat, "dunk" boulders while hanging on the rim, and just flat out be great. 2481... What a machine! So many other great robots on Einstein. So many close battles.

Thanks for the memories.

Congrats to all, and particularly to 330 assembling an amazing alliance. And for keeping the California streak alive!

Congrats to a great alliance 330, 2481, 120, 1086!!! What an exciting round of finals matches! I'm very happy to see one of my favorite teams in FIRST, 330, take home the gold!

[TedG]

Yes, congratulations, very well done!

Although I wasn't there, I am proud to say BERT's alliance were finalists in Carver subdivision with the winning alliance who won the whole thing.

A brush with greatness.

Congrats to teams 330, 2481, 120, and 1086 for their win this year from Team 74! What a great accomplishment, and what a memorable final match. I would also like to congratulate every team that was able to compete this past week in St. Louis at the last single FRC World Championship. Making it that far is no small feat, and every one of the 600 teams that made it should be proud of their accomplishments.

Team 379 would like to congratulate teams 330, 2481, 120, & 1086. You had a great alliance, and we were honored to play against such a great group of teams on Einstein. Your run on the Einstein field was exciting to say the least.

330 - You guys are flat out awesome! I'm still in shock at what your robot was capable of doing in SF1-2. I will also never forget your mentor asking me and one of our drivers about how we beat you guys in QF3-2, he wanted to know so that it wouldn't happen again and I can respect that.

120 - OH-IO!! I believe its safe to say that Ohio was represented well this past weekend. It was nice being down on the floor with a familiar face. We're looking forward to seeing you guys at the Ohio State Tournament in May.

2481 - You guys did a great job scoring and breaking down defenses. You guys played a very consistent game with accurate shooting.


Congratulations!!

Thanks everyone!

Massive shoutouts to our incredible alliance partners 330 (captain awesome, with abs of steel), 120, and 1086! I'm honestly still in shock at what we were able to collectively accomplish this weekend.

3 words, perfectly defining our alliance and demonstrated by our collective efforts in and surrounding SF1-2: NEVER. GIVE. UP.

I still haven't wrapped my head around everything yet, but I'll try to post a bit of a elims run recap later, if people are interested. When I'm able to think clearly again, that is. (I'll actually probably need video to make sure I remember some of the Carver elims details correctly, so as video of those matches start to pop up, please let us know!)


Also, I can't say enough about the incredible finalist alliance of 2056, 1690, 1405, and 3015. It was an absolute honor, guys. As far as I'm concerned, since we're going to 2 champs next year anyways, might as well start it a year early. Tiebreaker in the tiebreaker? If there was ever a situation where crowning 2 collective world champion alliances was justifiable, this would be it. We're both champions, as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you very much!

Congrats to your alliance on some incredible matches and being crowned World Champs! We had a great time competing against you and I think we showed the world come of the best Stronghold matches of the season.

I echo what others have said about congradulating the winners and finalists. I am so happy I got to see FRC history my first time at Championships!

We apologize for not responding sooner to the FIRST community -- It’s been a few crazy days of exhaustion, travel, and recovery. On behalf of 330, we would like to thank everyone for the tremendous support and congratulations. We have been overwhelmed by all your responses and have a few important shoutouts:

First, a huge thank you to our alliance partners 2481, 120, and 1086. It was a great pleasure and honor to play with you all. We had some incredible matches together and collectively were able to pull through the seemingly never-ending 3-match rounds. Even when we fell over and were down for a good bit of the match, you guys pulled our alliance through to a victory. Couldn’t have done this without you and you are equally deserving of congratulations.

Next, a huge shout-out to the Championship Finalists 2056, 1690, 1405, and 3015. You guys are amazing and so deserving of congratulations on your performance. 2056: Over the last two seasons - playing on Einstein with you last year and then facing you in the Finals this year - we’ve greatly enjoyed getting to know your team better. It’s a blessing that through FIRST competitions, friendships can be maintained whether you are aligned with or against a team. You have inspired us in many ways and we wish this could have been your year to win champs. It’s a shame we’ll likely be split by 2-champs, but thankfully there’s still IRI! It was truly an honor to share Einstein with you - you guys rock!

And to our friends from Las Vegas, a massive congratulations to 987 on winning the Championship Chairman's Award and joining the Hall of Fame. Your team is an excellent example of what FIRST is all about. An outstanding job well done!!

Team 2403 is proud to see our 2010 Arizona Regional winning alliance member go out and win the World Championship! We hope to see more of you, and continue to try to make our team as great as yours!

Congratulations on the rest of the Einstein Winners and Finalists, you deserve to be where you are and should always strive to continue success!
